Raymond “Executioner” Banda (8-3-1) is on a two-fight win streak and fought on a televised Combates America MMA fight card December of 2019 in Hidalgo, Texas. It was headlined by the main event of Tito Ortiz vs Alberto Del Río.
Banda is coming off a big victory before the Covid-19 pandemic broke out on a Triple-A promotions mixed boxing and MMA bout card in Laredo, Texas. That fight card on March 6, 2020, Banda would beat Sonny Luque (11-6) in Luque's home town. Prior to that fight, he was coming off a win over Zachery Farrington (4-2) by a rear naked choke hold.
Banda lives in Harlingen, Texas and trains out of Royal Society Striking Academy in Brownsville, Texas under trainer Gerardo Mascorro.
Sonny Luque started MMA training in 2001 with back then legendary team the Lions Den under Ken Shamrock and Guy Mezger. Luque turned pro in 2009. He has an MMA record of 12-8 and pro Kickboxing record of 4-1.
He captured many accolades in his career. In 2014, Luque was awarded Fighter of the Year from an important international promotion based in Mexico called Combate Extremo, which he holds two world titles under this promotion. He won the Lightweight Championship that same year.
In 2019, Luque became the Welterweight Champion and was later inducted into Universal Martial Arts Hall of Fame. He was ranked as high as #5 lightweight in the State of Texas and #5 lightweight in all Mexico. He currently ranks at #9 welterweight in all the State of Texas and country of Mexico.
This best combative sports event will feature more boxing and MMA bouts which will be announced at a later date. Bout card is subject to change.
